storm symmetry : inspiration

A white day full of muffled sounds. Almost everything a whisper.

rhythmic seasons : works on paper

studio december : illuminated experiments

When the winter comes the long hours of darkness bring an additional chill. Each winter my drawings look for the light. Drawing that embrace the chill. Each year I toy with the idea of creating illuminated drawings.
